•A renewable-dominated power system with a large penetration of PEVs is analyzed.•The power system is operated by a network-constrained stochastic economic dispatch.•Different types of coordination between the system operator and PEVs are analyzed.•A realistic case study based on the Iberian Peninsula power system is analyzed.•The charge coordination of PEVs reduces the operating costs and the wind spillage.
This paper aims to study the operational consequences of the integration of a large number of plug-in electric vehicles in a renewable-dominated power system. The coordination between the power system operator and the charging process of plug-in electric vehicles under a smart-grid environment is modeled using several approaches. The operation of the power system is modeled by means of a network-constrained stochastic economic dispatch. This problem is formulated using a two-stage stochastic programming model in which the uncertainties associated with the charging process of plug-in electric vehicles and with the availability of the renewable sources are characterized as stochastic processes. Numerical results on a realistic case based on the Iberian Peninsula power system are provided and analyzed.
